“Are you sure you want to go there?” Cain asked Penn not caring for the audience they were having which was the king and his family.
“You brought this upon yourself and let me inform you, my father will hear about this.” Penn threatened.
“Is it just me or this whole scene turning into something that is just wasting our time?” The queen asked the king who nodded.
“Cain you know better than to bring your personal vendetta here.” The king said firmly as Cain looked around unsure of how the table turned so quickly.
“But…” Cain tried to convince the king but Chandler's voice was the one to cut him short this time.
“But no

Penn felt something akin to pity as she watched Denzel stumbling back as if him shifting away from Vallas would somehow make the news unreal and change the fact that Curtis was dead.“No, you are lying. Is this some sick joke you and him are playing to make me lose my cool?” Denzel demanded but Penn could see the pale pallor that Denzel skin seem to have taken.“Not everything is about you Denzel, Your son was a traitor, this is about his death which was caused by his actions and decisions not yours.” Vallas stated as Penn paused.“Of course, he was your son.” Penn realized.“Stop referring to him like he is no more.” Denzel snapped at Penn who shifted back. “Now enough of this game you are playing and tell me where my son is.”“He is dead Denzel.” Penn stated calmly, trying to add feelings into delivering the news. “He was a traitor

The crowd was somber, most of the nobles who attended the burial of Denzel attended with the knowledge of why he died, some more than the others.*He angered the resistance so he was killed, His son was discovered as a member of the resistance so they shut him up, he was killed because his son was a traitor…*Those were few of the talks that were flying in the air at that time. The time were Denzel was being laid in the ground and that made the king teeth to grit in anger at the blatant disrespect shown to the noble who died and his living nobles who could not wait for them to be out of the hearing range of the young ones which Denzel left behind before running their mouth.The only persons who were observing the right curtsey was Vallas and his son Penn. The king watched as Vallas placed a comforting hand on Penn's arm and then led him off.“Father.” Chandler called to his father who turned around to con

“Your majesty, I have the perfect idea for what you want to happen.” Cain said two days later in the king's study.The king stared at Cain in surprise, he had not seen Cain this excited since he decided to start punishing the resistance. “I am not sure that I will like this idea.” The king responded.Reflected on Cain's face was the confusion which Cain felt as he did not understand what the reaction of the king. He did not plan for the king to shut him down even before hearing what he had in his mind. “My King, You did not even listen to what I have to say.”“I know.” The king sighed as he dropped the reports he was perusing. “I just hope that it will not waste my time.”“Of course not your majesty sire, I will be very brief with my explanation.” Cain hurried out and when the King gave his nod of approval, Cain started. “You wanted the children o

Penn watched the carriages stop as soon as he came down from his own carriage with Rima still inside and wondered if Vallas had visitors which she was not warned about?She had just came back with Rima for a trip in town, for a few days they have been here with Vallas as Something had gotten the resistance leaders so worked up that they were requesting for their heirs to be close to them.Penn sighed, someone would think that since Penn was at home that means that she would at least have an idea about what was going on but when she had asked Vallas, he shrugged and informed her that he does not know anything about what was happening.And when she asked him why he had called her home, the crazy man just replied that he did not want his heir to be the only one remaining especially when they have drawn the others back.Penn admit that Vallas's heart was in the right place but most time she felt like she would strangle Vallas.

Penn tried to run but there was no way she could escape the grasp of twenty men, she was caught within a minute. “Let me go.” She struggled against their hold as she was dragged back to Cain who had not moved from his spot when she had tried to run, fully trusting in his men's capability in bringing her back. “My father will hear of this.” “And how will he, when the person who should tell him will be dead?” Cain said as Penn felt a chill in her spine at his words. Cain had just confirmed that he was going to kill her and there was nothing she could do about it at all. “My father will know that it is you.” Penn bravely said but her voice betrayed her when it came out shaky, displaying her fear for all present to see. Cain leans to her face. “He is going to need something called proof to be able to do anything. You see, unlike that incident of two years ago, this time I will be smarter so that no one can witness this happening. Let us go.” Cain said

After bathing and turning a little cleaner, Penelope wandered close to the crowd, wondering why people was there until she started to hear the new prime minister, General Cain booming voice."These children will no longer be on the street. I will create a safe place where they will be given work and earn their way to food and shelter to stay." The man continues as people cheered but Penelope shook her head. Hope, that was what this man is selling, nothing else, it would be a miracle if he does deliver on his promises but maybe she was just the one who was being unnecessarily bitter. She had lost hope a while ago and she doesn't plan on getting it back anytime soon, not when it means that she would open herself to be hurt by others."For the plans to be in motion, it will take some time but know this, I will do everything in my capability to make that time and its effects short for you lot. No more going to bed hungry." The man boomed as the cr

"Sire, we shouldn't be this close to the palace this night, we should have left a while ago. Nobody should link you to what is going on in the palace." One of the men following Lord Vallas said but he just shook his head."And nobody knows that I am here by this time." The man leaned on his cane, his fingers brushing the design, the golden Raven. His mind flashed back to the street boy of earlier, the boy was right and at the same time he was wrong. The people who wore the golden Raven on anything other than their amour are the real heroes, the ones who would do anything to protect the Empire even from the emperor. And they certainly don't follow the path of justice, not when Justice is now blinded and led by the partial, not when justice is on the side of those who want the down fall of the empire."But sire…" The guard who voiced his complains earlier started again but Lord Vallas replied, his tone razor sharp with his will."You can leave
